Missouri inmate David Hosier, a 69-year-old scheduled to be executed for the 2009 deaths of Angela and Rodney Gilpin, is 'accepting his fate,' according to his spiritual adviser.
With his execution drawing near, Missouri inmate David Hosier is 'accepting his fate,' his spiritual adviser said Tuesday. Hosier, 69, is scheduled to be put to death at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the state prison in Bonne Terre for the 2009 deaths of Angela Gilpin, a woman he had an affair with, and her husband, Rodney Gilpin.
Hosier's lawyers said no court appeals are pending. Gov. Mike Parson on Monday turned down a clemency request, citing in part Hosier's lack of remorse. Hosier has continued to claim he had nothing to do with the shootings. Investigators and prosecutors said Hosier killed the couple in a fit of rage after Angela Gilpin broke off the relationship and reconciled with her husband. The Rev. Jeff Hood, Hosier's spiritual adviser, said he is 'accepting his fate, and his faith.
Missouri is scheduled to execute another man, Marcellus Williams, on Sept. 24, even though Williams is still awaiting a hearing on his claim of innocence in the 1998 stabbing death of Lisha Gayle. St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell in January requested a court hearing after DNA technology unavailable at the time of the crime showed that someone else's DNA — but not Williams’ — was found on the knife used in the stabbing.
